Extra Virgin Olive Oil

about the extra virgin olive oil

A delicate, single variety olive oil from Galega olives, the most emblematic olive variety in Portugal, harvested green, with soft, sweet, and long-lasting aromas.

The 2023 agricultural year was hot and dry. During the winter, mild temperatures and high levels of rainfall were recorded. In the spring, abnormally high temperatures affected flowering, leading to significant production losses. The swift harvest, which took place in October, along with the first rains that benefited the dry-farmed olive groves, ensured that the olives reached the mill in excellent condition, producing an olive oil that is truly representative of this variety.
Shortly after harvest, the Galega olives are shipped to the Esporão mill, in Reguengos de Monsaraz where cold extraction immediately begins. The fruit is rapidly ground and run through a heat exchanger to shorten extraction time and preserve the aromas. A centrifuge mechanically separates the pomace from the oil that is promptly filtered and packaged.
